You are allowed to be God in your Imagination.

EdwardArtSupplyHands:

There are no punishments. The past although it is experienced in this world, is goes back into Imagination. Once it reenters Imagination, it is under your control to manipulate. If you revise your day and give yourself entirely to it (feeling), you will change the Inner Self which will reflect in your tomorrow. For what you feel after today is your tomorrow.

Learn to stop being lovers with your fears and give up the emotional relationship you developed with it. You learn by imagining something more magnificent in its place. And then you surrender entirely, you die to your former and fully give yourself to this new concept. You are allowed to not let the past determine your imagining. You are allow to not let the fears of the future determine your imagining. You are allowed to be God in your Imagination. You already are, you just have allow yourself to be.

This is what I mean by God. I mean you are in total control within. How can one control the Mind? The most efficient way I have found to control the Mind when you identify yourself with the Inner Self, who is the God in the World of Imagination. You are the voice, the awareness within. (Creator Mediation) This inner self does not have to answer to anyone and if this inner self wishes to revise his past, so be it. If he wishes to free himself of all punishments, so it is. In this inner world you can change the motivations of others. You can make them into clay statues and make them listen to you about your new state, and you can unfreeze them feeling that now all empathize with you.

You have what it takes to change your inner world. I do not mean this as a confidence boost, I mean this literally, because you are the Creator in your inner World.

Listen to this video. Study it.

You are God. This is Your World.

Reddit:

Those are just three of the many success stories I have. I promise you, its not rocket science. You don’t need to rewire your brain or cry over everything. You don’t need to lay in bed and wonder why its not working. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. You are God. THIS IS YOUR WORLD. Rest in delusion, rest in assumption.

The Lost Notebooks of Zuckerberg

Steven Levy:

Zuckerberg was entering one of the most productive periods in his life. A few weeks after I met him, he would lay out a ludicrously ambitious vision for Facebook. In a journal with unlined 8-by-10 paper, he sketched his mission and product design and explored how a tiny company might become a vital utility for the world. In detail, he described features called Open Registration and Feed, two products that would supercharge his company.

and

As a kid growing up in Dobbs Ferry, New York, a bedroom community north of New York City, Mark Zuckerberg loved playing games. One was a PC-based strategy game called Civilization, with the tagline “Build an empire to stand the test of time.” Gameplaying stoked a desire to learn programming. His parents, a dentist and a psychiatrist, hired a coding tutor.

He was an avid Latin student, developing a fanboy affinity for the emperor Augustus Caesar, an empathetic ruler who also had an unseemly lust for power and conquest. Zuckerberg still indulged in games; his favorite was a successor to Civilization set in outer space called Alpha Centauri, in which players chose to lead one of seven “human factions” to control the galaxy.

and

By the end of 2005, Zuckerberg had somehow pulled off millions in financing—his early mentor Sean Parker got things rolling with an introduction to Facebook’s first big investor, Peter Thiel. He gathered a team of experienced advisers. “Whether it’s Peter Thiel or Sean Parker, these people thought they were manipulating Mark,” surmises one early Facebook employee. “I remember in hindsight thinking how genius it was that Mark convinced Sean Parker to raise all the money for him … Mark saw Sean as a useful tool to do the job that sucks the most,” that is, fundraising.

and

Zuckerberg was no longer doing much coding; he was focused mostly on the big picture. The notebooks allowed him to work out his vision in detail. When Facebook engineers and designers rolled in to the office, they would sometimes find a few photocopied pages from the notebooks at their workstations. The pages might contain a design for a front end or a list of signals for a ranking algorithm. He was still finding his way as a communicator, and the pages often opened up a conversation between the recipients and their boss. They also imbued Zucker­berg’s thoughts with a kind of inevitability. The printed page can’t be deleted or altered, or forwarded in infinitely duplicable digital form. Whiteboards appeared in abundance in every Facebook office, and employees couldn’t survive without excellent dry-eraser skills. But a Zuck notebook carried the sanctity of a papal decree.

and

He did verbally accept the offer, but then Yahoo CEO Terry Semel made a tactical error, asking to renegotiate terms because his company’s stock had taken a downturn. Zuckerberg used that as an opportunity to end the talks. He believed that the two products he wrote about in the Book of Change would make Facebook more valuable.

The executives who had urged him to sell would either quit or be fired. “It was just too broken a relationship,” Zuckerberg says.

After Zuckerberg rejected Yahoo, he turned to the launch of the key products he had outlined in the Book of Change. After almost eight months of intense preparation, News Feed launched in September 2006.

and

Zuckerberg became comfortable as the ultimate decider on all things Facebook. Sam Lessin, a Harvard classmate who later worked as a Facebook executive, says that multiple times he was in a room where Zuckerberg made a decision that conflicted with everyone else’s opinion. His view would prevail, and he would be right. After a while, people came to accept that a Zuck decision would turn out to be the wise one.

and

I wondered whether he found the role of wartime CEO more stressful or more fun?

A Zuck silence. Sauron’s gaze.

“You’ve known me for a long time,” he finally said. “I don’t optimize for fun.”

and

Not long before the July 4 holiday in 2019, I met with Zuckerberg at his home. The person who sat across from me on the couch couldn’t have been more different from the 21-year-old I’d met 13 years before. He had sat with presidents and autocrats, been ripped apart by legislators, amassed a multibillion-­dollar fortune, started a family, and was financing, through an enterprise led by his wife, an effort to cure all diseases by the end of the century. His company had done the unprecedented: bound almost a third of humanity in a single network. Now he was trying to mitigate the damage.

In another sense, though, he felt an urgency to maintain the optimism and creativity he had in 2006, when things fell easily to him and he could change the world by leaving photocopies of journal pages next to the computers of his developers and designers. He was determined not to let Facebook’s attempts to fix itself hamper its ambitions for even greater power.

Anger as Fuel

Reddit:

Anger can be an amazing fuel. Everything big that I’ve accomplished has been fueled by anger/resentment. The best revenge is a life well lived. However, if you’re not going to make your resentment useful, you should let it go because it is just making your life worse. It’s not hurting the person you are angry at. It’s just hurting you.

I’ve found that forgiving the person I’m angry at (and forgiving myself) is the only way to get ride of my anger. That doesn’t mean you trust that person again. Learn the lessons you can from the experience. After you’ve learned, let it go and forgive them. You forgive someone for you, not for them.

And:

I backpack and hike till Im tired, and because I know Im really alone I “talk” to the trees and just figure out why I’m angry. If I can’t hike I’ll do that on long drives. Just figure myself out and ask if that energy is worth it.

You know it’s bad when you run to the woods!

And:

I let it out. I angrily clean, I furiously work out, I have an angry conversation with an imaginary person/vent, I throw my pillow at the wall.

Then I think about what or who I am angry at. If it’s a person, I think about what they did or said and why it made me so angry and then I ask myself if it’s something I need to approach them about or if it’s some thing that isn’t worth getting into. I think, will being angry at them help me? When I’m calmer, will I feel guilty about getting so angry? I ask if it will matter in a few years.

Going through that mental checklist usually helps me calm down and sort out some priorities. If it’s something that I can talk to someone about and maybe find a solution, then I’ll approach the person when I feel calmer. If it’s some thing that I know no amount of talking will fix, or they won’t be receptive to it, then I decide how important it is to me. If it’s some thing that I can live with and let go, I let it go.

The important thing is that anger doesn’t turn into resentment. Because that just is a waste of energy and makes you incredibly bitter. If I’m angry, I tell myself that I’m angry and then I decide if its worth it.

Emotional Cash

Reddit:

Quite a few years ago, I had an intensive half-day session with a therapist to discuss a bunch of things I was going through at the time and we touched on some anger/frustration issues I was experiencing with my Mum.

The therapist asked me whether, in my general life, I was wasteful or prudent with money. I told her that by and large, I was risk-averse, and not prone to frittering away my hard-earned dollars. She then said something incredibly profound: Me holding onto my anger and frustration with my mother was resulting in me ending my days emotionally in the red, because I was frittering away all my “emotional cash” on reacting to her. I could either continue to allow her to drain me of my reserves, or I could choose to actively let go of my natural reaction to her behaviour. If I chose the former, I’d continue to end my days in the red; if I chose the latter, I’d be that much richer emotionally from having just let it go.

It’s a lesson I’ve not forgotten and in fact, have applied it to many other people and situations since. ?

About Anger

Reddit:

A few things will help – one is to understand where anger comes from. Anger is very useful because it shows you where your needs have not been met. It is usually hiding a deep sadness or fear.

It is the thought you tell yourself about the unfairness or disrepect of the situation that is making you angry, not the situation itself – this means that something happened where your need was not met… Ask yourself what was that? Was it safety, being listened, respected or loved? etc….

When this happened or you think about it again, another thought flashes into your mind that says it was unfair or horrible BECAUSE………… and this is what is making you angry.

You can use this anger to have your needs met in the future. It might be a good idea to find a safe and super private place where you can SCREAM and let it all out, and punch a bunch of pillows………… I’m not even joking! It will help.

Next thing, is to use the emotional freedom technique. Also called EFT Tapping. It is profound. I have tapped for thousands of hours on myself and with clients – because it words profoundly. I highly recommend you trying it. You can do it by yourself or you could follow along with youtube videos. Of course with most things like this it is best with a gifted practitioner, of which there are thousands of practitioners in The World now, so you will b able to find someone who resonates with you…

Rather than getting angry at yourself for getting angry – this makes it stick. There is a process used in eft, which I liken to emotional alchemy. When you accept you feel that way, let it move through you, express it, lean towards it, understand it AND send it love – you will shift the feeling. If you want to know more feel free to PM me, moving emotion through is one of my greatest passions because not many people know how to do it properly. But it’s actually real easy….

But truly, the only way out is through. So find that safe place to accept your anger and let it out, while focusing on what need wasn’t met and you might eventually find yourself in tears. This is healthy and will also pass, but don’t fight it. It is trapped energy aand crying and anger happens for a reason.

Get Grateful

Reddit:

You want to let go? Get grateful. Angel was and is grateful for everything in her life. There were even moments when she was grateful for her step dad. She is the most amazing person I’ve ever known because despite everything, she chose gratitude, happiness, and love.

For myself, I truely forgave my brother by finding gratitude, appriciation, and understanding.

Be grateful you have lived your life and all that’s happened in it. And remember, you can always choose to smile.

Retrain your brain to ‘not go there’

Reddit:

Thoughts and emotions are pathways, they become a habit and you need to work to retrain your brain to ‘not go there’. Its like quitting smoking or anything else, it takes work. Its like learning a new emotional language. It will take a while and you will have to make a solid effort to avoid thinking and dwelling on the negative but it can be done.

Don’t watch ‘downer’ movies or listen to much anger, don’t watch Jerry Springer and ease up on Fox news, ease up on heavy metal and dark music. Take in uplifting stuff, positive messages, motivational things. Get lots of exercise, do other things that will make you better, take a ceramics class or photography. Stay busy, don’t sit still, whenever it creeps in get up and do something else.

Yea it feels weird going out of your way trying to be happy, at first it feels like some sort of con of a joke, like your trying to trick yourself. Yea I miss my gothic music and my Slayer and the horror movies and all that but when you get all that out of your head (garbage in garbage out)

Listen to classical music, go for walks, volunteer at a homeless shelters, go out of your way to be nice to strangers, work at it and after a while your not faking it and one day you realize it’s become a self fulfilling prophecy.
